Very nice looking. Sure she is going to be very happy receiving this. Does she know you ordered it?

Thanks for the kind words. Yes she did know I ordered it and was very much part of the ordering/selection process. The exterior chome package really puts the icing on the cake IMO. Personally I wasn't too keen on the black panel around the side turn signals that comes with the S model and was surprised to see today the chrome panel that comes with the exterior chrome package. Honestly, I think the car is awesome and am soooo happy for her.

I wouldn't mind getting the chrome piece instead of black also once I get mine. Wonder how much just that Chrome piece would cost to replace?

Well done and very nice.

I would invest in some nicer floor mats. Are those the standard MINI ones? Sneeze guard on the steering wheel is a nice touch, too.

Hobie, it's gorgeous. The chrome looks great with the silver. Congratulations! Speedy delivery too. Husband's CM-S will probably be just under 70 days from order to delivery... but that's another story.

Thanks for all the kind words my friends and to Sealy, you really crack me up with your witty sense of humor.

My little lady's CM arrived home today. Her CMS ALL4 is absolutely just what the doctor ordered.

To our pleasant surprise the side turn signal panels are chrome along with the exterior chrome line package.

Additionally, our MA was beyond 110% and one of the nicest persons we have ever dealt with.

Hobie, did the driving lights come with covers, and if so what color? I know the MC/MCS did, but haven't seen them anywhere fro the CM.

The driving lamps came with white plastic snap on covers. They are vey functionable as they keep the lamps from breaking from rocks, ect being kicked up and breaking them however they don't match the color scheme.

I'm going to spray the covers with metallic silver DuPont Imron and Dupont Imron clear coat. I'll post pics when I get around to it.

I also took a bunch of photos of the install of the front and rear mud flaps to help everyone out who wants to DIY.

Give me a day or two to get to it.

All the best. --Hobie
